This Just In: New on the Net

Last night, I went to see Wanted, and even though I’m not totally down with the amount of CGI in action movies these days, it was still pretty dope. Toward the beginning, there’s a sequence where Angelia Jolie is hanging out the shattered windshield of a Viper and firing backward while steering with her foot. Believable? No way. Hot? Oh. My. God. Yes. Anyway, here’s the news:

• President Bush has said that Uncle Sam isn’t going to bail out the Big Three. I honestly didn’t know where I stood on that issue, but after learning about Bush’s stance, I’ll support a bail out on general principle. 01.20.09! Autoblog
• What will the next-gen Porsche 998 look like? Well nobody—in the press at least—knows for sure, but these pics suggest power train development is well underway. And while I’m sure it will be a fast and capable machine, it won’t be as pretty as a Lambo or Aston. Motor Authority
• GM isn’t in great shape financially, but its plan to get its ass in gear must have been well-received as the company’s stock rose almost 16 percent yesterday. Nice work, General. I’m pulling for you! Detroit News
• When it comes to fleet fuel economy, you’d figure that Toyota just stomps Chevy, wouldn’t you? Well guess what? You’d be wrong. Automotive Traveler
